Ok - This may seem like common sense, or something that really doesn't need to be written about but I can't tell you how often people ask me to recommend a baby gift. So here are a few different recommendations. All items, of course, can be purchased from www.snugglebugkids.net
1. Baby Shower Gift for a Very Close Friend - Moses Basket, Monogrammed Diaper Bags and Custom Car Seat Covers are always something extra special for a very close friend or sister.
2. Baby Gift for a Friend or Co-Worker Option #1- Personalized Bib and Burp Sets are a top seller! You can never have too many.
3. Baby Gift for a Friend or Co- Worker Option #2, #3 and #4 - A hooded Baby Towel with a Boo Boo Buddy, A keepsake Spoon and Fork Set, or a Lovey Blanket with Rattle.
4. Baby Shower Gift for baby with older sibling - Think out of the box... Parents will think it is so thoughtful and the older sibling will feel so special when they receive a Big Brother or Big Sister t shirt. Coordinate a personalized baby bib in matching colors and make it a gift set.
5. Visiting Mom and New Baby at the Hospital - A monogrammed onesie and matching monogrammed baby hat. ( will add to website 3/22/07) The perfect gift!! Ditch the ugly hospital hat - Perfect for newborn pictures.
6. What about the new busy mom? - No time for hair washing and she needs to sit down, relax and sip her favorite beverage. Encourage her.... Buy her a monogrammed hat and a personalized koozie! She'll remember your unique gift!

Snugglebug Kids Story - Continued:)
Cont. -
After we found out I was pregnant with my second son we moved and I decided after having him to take a break. I didn't think there was any time to have a hobby with two small ones. When they were 2 and 1 years old I started feeling down and found myself cleaning my house as a fun thing to do (let me just say, I do not enjoy cleaning, so this in itself was depressing.) One afternoon while cleaning out the strings, etc. out of my vaccum (who does that!!) my mom mentioned that I may want to find a hobby. Naturally, I thought of sewing.
That week I received a cagalog in the mail of blank tee shirts, bibs, etc. I don't know how it found me but I will never forget that afternoon. Sometimes you just have to call it a "GOD" thing! I called my husband so excited blabbing about what I was going to start making and by that night I had my machine revved up and was cutting out appliques.
I guess the rest is history. Through home parties and ebay things really started to pick up. My parents helped me buy my first embroidery machine and since have upgraded to a commercial machine. My third baby was born three years after my second and I took a few months off. I continued to take in work from friends and friends of friends. Last year we launched the website www.snugglebugkids.net and started offering our clothing and custom car seat covers by special order through Eloise and Henry - A children's boutique in Decatur, AL.
We should be adding 3-4 new stores over the next few months. I'll make sure to post their locations.
So this, in a nutshell, is my story and the story of Snugglebug Kids. If you have any topics of interest you would like me to post about or have any product questions you can email me at info@snugglebugkids.net -- Ahbra

Snugglebug Kids - How did you start doing this?
How did you start doing this? This is a question I receive at least a few times a week.
For those of you who have just stumbled across this - I own a sewing business and have a website - www.snugglebugkids.net - Usually the question is from customers or other mothers who wonder how in the world I have time to have a business being a Work At Home Mother of three kids. Well, first let me say that I am a night owl!!! I don't even start working until after 8:00pm when my kiddos have hit the hay. Second, I truly believe that God has given me a passion to create, sew, thrive on feeling overwhelmed, budget, schedule, and the list goes on and on. I am so thankful that He has given me the ability to do what I love! Third, my sweet husband is very supportive and even takes all kids, on occasion, so I can work like mad on large orders.
So, it all started when I had my first born and could not find a diaper bag I liked - I did find one, but is cost over $100 and wasn't anything spectacular! At this point I was staying at home with my little one, no hobbies, no extra money and not a whole lot to do. (Remember, I thrive on being overwhelmed). I had never taken a sewing class but my mother had given me her 25 year old Kenmore Sewing Machine. I found some fabric and Voila!! This was nearly 7 years ago and no one had home made diaper bags or purses. Within months I was doing home and work parties, craft shows and had Auburn Tiger Paw bags at a local college book store.
Then I had my second son.................................(the story continues...tomorrow:)
